Implementation of the Principle of Responsibility in Climate Policy

Implementation of the Principle of Responsibility in Climate Policy

Author(s): Małgorzata Kaniewska,Marcin Klimski / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2016

Increased energy consumption which commenced in the late twentieth century as well as its impact on the climate change highlighted important ethical issues revolving around responsibility for the inflicted damage, obligations towards both future generations and millions of species living on the planet, or the costs of mitigation and adaptation.Natural sciences provide more and more detailed information on the currently observed climate change. Climate models allow us to forecast changes and predict their consequences. However, it is yet impossible to answer the question what should be done about the knowledge about climate change, whether and in what way we should react to it. What seems of particular importance is the necessity to take a closer look at the alarming phenomenon through the prism of values and, especially, our responsibility for the present and future generations. Climate change is a global problem and it is very difficult to find a political solution to it due to the fact that its effects have a diverse character and are not immediately discernible. They constitute a matter of considerable concern which is mostly related to the fact that the consequences of climate change can significantly affect the entire international community, irrespective of the place of living or financial status. Proper assessment of climate change effects and undertaking political action to counteract them constitute nowadays one of the major world’s development challenges.

Zmiany klimatyczne jako czynnik pogłębiający nierówności społeczne.

Author(s): Małgorzata Kaniewska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2013

Climate change is considered to be one of the most important and difficult –to-assess challenges facing humanity in the twenty-first century. It was considered by the Secretary-General of United Nations Ban Ki - monna’a as a key challenge faced by humanity in times of peace. It is because the aftereffects of the activities of certain countries have or will have a number of consequences for the life and health of people around the world. Climate change exacerbates global inequality and conditions of survival. The consequences of these changes expose numerous geopolitical implications. They will be associated with flooding of lowland areas, the threat of deprivation of areas of important economic and political importance as well as endangering sovereignty of nations.

Formy akumulacji eolicznej nieaktywnej doliny środkowej Warty (Polska Centralna)

Author(s): Danuta Dzieduszyńska,Joanna Petera-Zganiacz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 116/2024

The article presents the features of the geomorphological landscape dominated by sand covers and dunes withinthe inactive middle Warta River valley. Detailed geological and geomorphological mapping, sedimentological analysis and agedeterminations using 14C and OSL methods allowed their formation to be placed in the late Weichselian/early Holoceneand the late Holocene. It was found that the nature of aeolian processes is the result of local aerodynamic conditions,the presence of alluvia and fluvioglacial deposits, and substrate moisture.

Podwodne przejawy denudacji chemicznej wysadu solnego Rogóźno na przykładzie fragmentu koryta Moszczenicy w Giecznie (powiat zgierski)

Author(s): Maciej Ziułkiewicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 116/2024

The article presents the results of a study of salinity in the Moszczenica hyporheic zone in the stretch overthe Rogóźno salt dome and a review of research hypotheses intended to explain the cause of this peculiar geochemical phe-nomenon. The economic history of the Rogóźno-Gieczno area does not indicate the existence of a tradition of salt exctraction.These allows us to assume that geogenic salinity, which is evidence of leaching of the salt body and denudation of the gypsumcap, was revealed in the 20th century as a result of geological exploration works. The fact of the presence of saline waters inthe immediate vicinity of the riverbed creates a favourable research area for investigating the relations between river andhyporheic waters in the special conditions of wide availability of the chloride ion as the indicator element in the aquatic envi-ronment. Annual research did not show a clear relationship between the variability of hydrological and hydrogeological con-ditions and the condition of the hyporheic zone. However, its provided the basis for distinguishing two zones in the examinedpart of the riverbed bottom that responded differently to the inflow of saline deep waters. It was assumed that the salinity ofthe environment around the riverbed was caused by the ascension of saline water from the Jurassic formations which abut tothe salt diapir.

The ice-cored ridges are important for palaeogeographical studies of retreating margins of glaciers. Earlier recon-structions of ice-cored ridges in marginal zones of the Pleistocene ice-sheets have been made based on sedimentological studies.Applying such approach, research were able only to show in which degree depressions between ice-cored ridges influencedspatial variations in depositional processes. There is possible to determine more precise characteristics of ice-cored ridgesgeometry based on detailed analysis of collapse structures. The shape, elongation and orientation of ice-cored ridges can bederived from geometry and kinematics of folds and faults as major elements of the collapse structures. Integration sedimento-logical studies of supraglacial deposits with analysis of collapse structures also allows to determine the evolution of ice-coredridges up to final deicing. This approach is the subject of case study performed in Daszyna site located in the Kutno Moraine.

Using LiDAR Data to Assess the Character of Landscape in the Suburban Zone of Poznań

Using LiDAR Data to Assess the Character of Landscape in the Suburban Zone of Poznań

Author(s): Anna Dudzińska,Anna Gałecka-Drozda,Barbara Szpakowska / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2017

The intensive development of urban agglomerations causes the need to search for new precise methods which will determine the most important features of the landscape and monitor changes in suburban zones. The aim of the study was to identify, characterize, and assess the structure of landscape units based on LiDAR data. The research was conducted in the village of Napachanie, Wielkopolskie Voivodship. Although the village is located in the suburban zone of Poznań, it has retained the rural character of the landscape in this region, with expanses of fields, a park and palace complex, and a grange. The research combined GIS analysis and the traditional method of Landscape Character Assessment (LCA). LiDAR data were used to identify 16 landscape units of different character. The spatial model of the landscape enabled definite delimitation of individual landscape units, which supplemented field investigations. Visualizations show the most important features of the landscape, such as terrain, the arrangement of tall vegetation, the number and layout of buildings. The spatial model enables an initial analysis of the landscape composition, including the range of views and the degree of compactness of landscape interiors.

Author(s): Vladimir Iordache,Cătălina Cristea / Language(s): English Issue: 37/2024

A Brief Summary of the Process of Creating an Interactive Web Map GIS is an essential technology for managing and analyzing spatial data, with vast applications in many fields. A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a technology for managing and analyzing spatial and geographic data. It combines hardware, software, and data to capture, store, analyze, manage, and present information related to locations on the Earth's surface. Using GIS, users can visualize, understand, and interpret spatial data in various ways, revealing relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, reports, and charts.The present article attempts a straightforward graphical representation within a GIS environment of a database derived from various sources. The database in question originates from official websites and consists of multiple use of .xls files. The data contained therein are considered sufficient for graphical representation, as this database maintains records from multiple data series of pharmacies in Sibiu from 2017 to 2022, including numerous metadata related to each pharmacy, the most important being the address. In addition to the graphical representation of the database, the creation of a digital and interactive map (in HTML format) is also aimed for, which will be accessible via a web browser.

Monitoring Constructions Behavior Using Spatial Geodetic Technologies

Author(s): Alina Andreea Meșteru,Andrei Șerban Ilie,Cătălina Cristea / Language(s): English Issue: 37/2024

The present article addresses the monitoring of the behavior of three object points located on the Râușor dam crest, considering two different measurement epochs. The measurements were obtained using spatial geodetic technologies, carried out over 24 hours on two different dates and during two different measurement epochs, namely in the years 2023-2024.The processing of the measurements obtained from satellite observations conducted during the two measurement epochs was performed using a mathematical model. The goal was to determine the positions of the three object points in each epoch, and subsequently to determine their displacements.To conduct the necessary measurements for the case study, a network was used where the three points, named G501, G502, and G601, were considered new points, while point GPS4, where a permanent station is installed, was considered a fixed point.Observations were made at all four points in the network mentioned above. These observations were represented in the processing stage by observation files and navigation files. After the observation sessions, these files were input into the Emlid Studio application. Using this application, the coordinate increments and the necessary precisions for processing were extracted, taking into account the use of a local geodetic coordinate system.To determine the positions of the object points, the coordinates of the permanent station GPS4 were known, thus enabling a relative determination of the positions of the three points using these coordinates. With the coordinates of the fixed point GPS4 and the coordinate increments extracted from the Emlid Studio program, the provisional coordinates of the three new points were calculated.An important step in the processing was the development of the stochastic functional model, from which the coefficient matrix was extracted. Since the measurements were correlated, the variance-covariance matrix could also be compiled, from which the weight matrix was calculated. With all these components, the normal equation system of corrections and its inverse were developed.To determine the adjusted coordinates of the new points, the solutions to the normal system were calculated and applied to the provisional coordinates of the points. Additionally, the values of the corrections applied to the coordinate increments extracted using the Emlid Studio program were determined.For all three points located on the dam's crest, considered new points, the steps described above were followed, with processing performed for both years 2023 and 2024. The precision estimates and the calculation of the error ellipses for each point were also completed.To draw a conclusion, the coordinates of the three points obtained in the two measurement stages were compared, allowing the observation of their displacements on the North and East components, as well as altitude displacements. It was concluded that the equipment used, the chosen measurement method, the method of determining the points positions, and the coordinate system used together resulted in high precision in determining the positions of these points. This indicates that these combined methods are suitable for monitoring constructions over time.

Study on the Influence of Reference Data on the Processing of Geodetic Monitoring Networks

Author(s): Raul Alexandru Moazeni,Andrei Șerban Ilie,Marin Plopeanu / Language(s): English Issue: 37/2024

The purpose of this work is twofold. Initially, it started with the desire to study potential displacements of characteristic points located on the Pecineagu Dam. Subsequently, we realized that determining the generalized inverse is an important and current topic, so we decided to pursue both aspects in parallel: monitoring the behavior of the characteristic points on the dam and determining the generalized inverse using three methods. The motivation for this study stems from the importance of dams for both the population and nature, serving multiple roles such as flood protection, irrigation, electricity production, and more.The initial data consisted of the provisional coordinates of the new points and measurements of distances and directions conducted within a local network. This network is formed by six new points (6, 7, 8, Ro, 12, 13) included in the geodetic network located at the Pecineagu Dam, a 107-meter-high rockfill dam on the Dâmbovița River in Argeș. Initially, we calculated the coefficients for distances and directions as well as the orientation angle of each station, which were later used in developing the stochastic functional model. The next step was outlining the three methods we used for determining the generalized inverse.The first method involved determining the generalized inverse using the "pinv" function integrated into the Octave application. To extract the A, P, and l matrices from the functional model, we applied the first equivalence rule, aiming to eliminate the unknowns associated with the stations orientation angles, replacing each unknown with a sum equation.The second method involved applying the S transformation with a partial minimum condition. To determine the generalized inverse using the transformation matrix S, it was necessary to first apply a reduction to the network's center of gravity regarding the coordinates. At this stage, the initial functional model was used without applying the equivalence rule.The third method was applying the "pinv" function using the initial functional model without applying the equivalence rule.After determining the generalized inverse, we proceeded with determining the corrections, applying them, and calculating the precisions and the elements of the error ellipses. As can be observed from the results, methods 1 and 2 yielded the same final matrices (both Q and x), while applying the "pinv" function without eliminating the orientation unknowns of the stations resulted in different outcomes that cannot be further used in the continuation of the adjustment. After calculating the characteristic elements of the ellipses, the precision was significantly better in the 2020 stage compared to the 2023 stage. Regarding the monitoring of the characteristic points between 2020-2023, the Fischer test was passed marginally, prompting me to also apply the Student's test. The result indicated that point 12 had displaced in both directions, while point 13 displaced only in the East direction.

A Navigation Retrospective

Author(s): Aurel Sărăcin / Language(s): English Issue: 37/2024

In this article I briefly present the evolution of navigation over the centuries, orienting navigators with maps and simple and more complex instruments that evolved from antiquity to the Middle Ages and up to the 20th century. After defining the word navigation, the necessity of the ancient Greeks is explained to navigate the Mediterranean, as a result their maps highlighted only 3 continents: Europe, Libya (Africa) and Asia. Later portulanes appeared and then the planiglobe, all of which were accompanied by the instruments of thet time for sea navigation, the sextant being still used today.

The Study of the Degree of Silt Sedimentation in The Public Reservoirs of the Republic of Moldova

Author(s): Eugeniu Țiganu,Vasile Grama,Ana Vlasenco,Livia Nistor-Lopatenco / Language(s): English Issue: 37/2024

In the Republic of Moldova, public ponds and reservoirs are at the end of their exploitation period. In the context of climate change, the operation of lakes imposes requirements on the minimum flow to maintain the downstream ecosystem. Extending the exploration period, in compliance with current rules, requires hydrological and hydraulic interventions which is necessary to be done, based on multiple studies such as the study of the behavior of hydrotechnical constructions and of clogging processes. Topography, climate, vegetation, hydrology, and human actions control soil erosion which is a major problem, causing detrimental effects on agriculture and siltation of rivers and reservoirs. Thus, the given article presents the result of the study of the clogging process for one reservoir located in the Northern areas of the Republic of Moldova, in comparative analysis with the designed diagram of the storage capacity, specific to pond/lake, during the exploitation period. The topographic method based on topo-bathymetric profiles was used. The cross-sectionals profiles reveal changes in slopes in the shoreline area, in the tail of the lake and in the vicinity of the, largely, non-functional stavilles. The particular results as well as the general ones, identified by the study, highlight the major causes of the phenomenon, as well as some recommendations for accumulation.

Analysis of Several Map Georeferencing Methods

Author(s): Alexandru Toaca,Doina Vasilca / Language(s): English Issue: 37/2024

Whenever one derives maps in other projections and at other scales compared to the base maps, the latter must be georeferenced. In the present article, we have studied multiple georeferencing methods employed through a series of professional applications such as AutoCAD Raster Design, AutoCAD Map 3D, ArcGIS Pro and QGIS, with the aim of making an educated choice with regards to their individual use cases. The residual errors obtained in the control points were analysed by applying different methods of transforming the Cartesian coordinates used in the georeferencing of a scanned map. For georeferencing, we used polynomial transformation with different order polynomials, a triangular method, adjustment transformation, spline transformation and similarity. For each method described above, the distances between the source and destination points were measured, reduced at the map scale and compared to the graphical precision of measuring a distance on a map. The present study centralizes the results obtained when using different georeferencing methods and can act as an aid for students or any party interested in georeferencing scanned images to create maps or perform different analyses based on georeferenced images.

The Influence of the Projection Plane Altitude on the Distortions in Oblique Double Conical Map Projections

Author(s): Doina Vasilca / Language(s): English Issue: 37/2024

In double map projections, the Earth’s surface – approximated as a revolution ellipsoid – is first represented on a sphere that is then subsequently represented on the plane of the map projection. In the present study, the ellipsoid is conformally represented on a sphere, which introduces linear and area distortions. Herein we have studied the representation of the sphere on the lateral surface of a cone chosen such that the tangent parallel passes through the middle of the area of interest. Additionally, in this case, linear and area distortions also occur.The total distortions produced by double map projections must include both the distortions arising from representing the ellipsoid on the sphere, as well as those appearing when representing the sphere on the plane. Said distortions depend on the position of the point on the surface of the ellipsoid or the sphere, as well as on the latitude of the parallel which is represented as undistorted.The projection plane altitude also has a influence on the produced distortions, as can be demonstrated by changing the altitude of the projection plane. In the current article, we present this scenario for several road sections in Romania that were represented in local projection plans located at the average altitude of their respective location.
